Overview

• Eastbound I-94 fully reopened around 3:40 a.m. Sept. 4 after a Sept. 3 jackknife east of Jackson Avenue scattered steel coils across the freeway.
• The Sept. 3 truck driver sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, according to fire officials.
• The steel-coil cleanup drew extended responses from the Washtenaw County Road Commission, Corrigan Towing, Michigan State Police, and area fire and EMS units.
• A day earlier, a multivehicle crash near the same area split open a semitrailer carrying sparkling grape juice and overturned a pickup hauling a motorboat.
• The Sept. 2 crash caused multiple mostly minor injuries, damaged the concrete median barrier, and closed both directions for about four hours before reopening near 6:25 p.m., with police saying alcohol and drugs were not factors.
